Car is awesome in any form.
I personally wanted full/extended leather, buckets, Bose, LED headlights. Car I ended up with had many more options which I think most were pretty well spec’d.

PTS is icing on the cake if you can find one.

PTS with true leather to sample would be an unicorn. There are about 40 of those in the US market and around 150 cars worldwide with this combo. The only modification I recommend is to get an aftermarket exhaust system, Dundon or Akrapovic are my two top choices.

P.S. Yes, 100% OEM on my Speedster except the exhaust system.

Sorry, dumb question...PTS is?

Also the market seems to be showing $60 - 125k markup from the original MSRP. Does that check and how does everyone feel about that in a few years.

Paint to Sample, I'm seeing it hover around $100k over list at least that's what I bought mine for. Who knows where it will be in a few years. Whenever I've bought on speculation I've always been wrong. When I took the investment portion out on luxury purchases I've faired pretty well. But I bought the speedster as a forever car for myself, Other cars will come and go, but the speedster will always be a car I will enjoy driving with my wife well into our older years. It's that special of a car.

Makes sense to me too! It truly is a "forever" car.

I had two questions for the group:

1. I found a Speedster with an original MSRP of $346k (without options) when others I have seen were $275k...does anyone know what the difference could be?
2. Was there more than one seat option? I have seen carbon fiver backed seats and another one that looks like more of the traditional seat.

Price difference could be dealer adjusted price…🤢
The cars can vary greatly on price based on options.

As for the seats, it was buckets or the 18 way sport seats.

‘PTS 12.5k, snd special CXX leathers can put you at 346 quickly. Best thing is to look at the build sheet.

That seems odd to me? The M in MSRP is Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price which should be standard across the board. Added options above the MSRP could bring it up to $346k and that is a really really well optioned speedster at that price. Everything I was finding was a build of $310k and below when I was looking. Ask for the build sheet it should become clear once you receive that.

A lot of your high MSRP cars are kept by the original owners, I know a few north of 350k but keepers. Mine was 317k with PTS and full leather bits ..340k would be very easy. I’d be curious to see what this car looks like. I just saw the 346k no options sorry …..that’s weird and a fraud in my mind.
